Graffiti Blackbook: Process, Letters, and Control is a focused, in-depth look at the working methods of Dutch artist DOES, one of the world’s leading contemporary graffiti writers and a former professional footballer who came through the youth academy and first team at Fortuna Sittard.
Combining sketchbooks, finished works, and direct commentary from the artist, the book breaks down how his lettering is built, from early ideas to large-scale walls.

The discipline shaped by football runs quietly through the book, adding another layer to DOES’s evolution from writer to internationally recognized artist.
Part visual archive, part practical study, this is a rare insight into how a distinct visual language is developed, refined, and sustained over time.

The most luxurious of Parisian gastronomic guides, the most exclusive. The most timeless: with the QR code accompanying each review, the book becomes eternal and is permanently updated. Albert Nahmias knows his business well (and that of others). A star restaurateur in the 90s with Olympe, the happy few flocked to his table. From the art of hosting, he moved to the other side of the counter to cultivate the art of being hosted, and now he delivers his judgments. Whether they are favorites or criticisms, it’s an elegant and incredibly useful book. Like a gourmet and travelling Ulysses returning to his Ithaca rich in sensory and gustatory images, Paris becomes an odyssey-city that constantly attracts poets and ambitious individuals… Its chefs are also poets. In Paris, the true gourmet is a traveler from elsewhere who comes to taste its charms; like Ulysses, one simply needs to choose a neighborhood, a welcoming restaurant according to their mood, age, or fortune… This guide gives meaning to daily urban wandering, in the labyrinth of over a thousand establishments. No one knows them all. So many dives, bistros, and restaurants for a people of Parisian navigators for whom it’s a bit of a secret sport. Less so now.

“The most important portraits to me are the ones of people who have enriched my own thinking or awareness. Areas of philosophy, religion, psychological perspectives, poetry, music, art history, women’s roles and the inner life are important issues for me – and all have been nurtured by these people whom I have met through portraiture.” – Victoria Crowe. Victoria Crowe is one of Britain’s most vital and original figurative painters. Here, Duncan Macmillan explores the exceptional skill of this remarkable artist’s portraits and Victoria Crowe, herself, contributes many insightful accounts of her own thoughts and perceptions as each work developed. This book also tells Crowe’s own story – both professional and personal – through her art.
